Gerardo Pontiérr is an innovative Mexican artist who uses thousands of individual LEGO bricks to create incredible works of art, including detailed human portraits.

Gerardo Pontiérr has been using LEGO for as long as he can remember. He first started playing with the colorful plastic bricks when he was only two years old and developed such a passion for it that by age 10 he was already a World Champion LEGO Builder. His interest and love for the Danish-invented building system only grew with age, allowing him to use LEGO to create some truly incredible things. Pontiérr may not be the first to use LEGO as an artistic medium, but he can be credited for taking LEGO art to a whole new level of mastery.
